One of the main ways we connect with God and others at The Crossing is through our Community Connections Ministry.  We look for opportunities to serve our community and the following is a list of ways we have or are continuing to serve our community.  At the bottom you will find a section where you can share ideas for opportunities.  Our future plans are as big as the needs and your imagination.

Annual Free Soccer Camp

• In an effort to love on our community and make fun opportunities available for children and their families we host a soccer camp that is free to elementary-aged students each year.  This is a great time where children learn some basics about soccer and have fun in a very encouraging environment.  We are blessed and thankful to have many of the local business and the Bulverde Youth Soccer Association partner with us to host this camp each summer at Jumbo Evans Park.

Annual Jumbo Evans Egg Hunt

• Each year on the Saturday of Easter weekend we do an enourmous Egg Hunt and cookout for the community on the soccer fields at Jumbo Evans Park.  We love being a part of this community and being able to make fun family friendly events available for the community at no cost.

Holidays in the Hills

• On Friday after Thanksgiving The Crossing had the opportunity to serve our community.  It was a beautiful freezing night and we were able to serve between 600 -700 hot cocoas and apple ciders while also giving out cookies.

Smithson Valley Tailgate Party

• For the final home game of the season we were able to hold a free tailgate party for the community.  It was a great opportunity love on the community by being kind and giving away some free food.

Bill Brown Elementary’s Walk-A-Thon
